The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
The featured authors on tonight's double bill are both storytellers specializing in stark, surreal, almost cinematic imagery. Austin poet Karyna McGlynn reads from her debut collection of poems, I Have to Go Back to 1994 and Kill a Girl (Sarabande), selected by Lynn Emanuel as the 2008 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry. "To be a reader of I Have to Go Back to 1994 and Kill a Girl is to be a time traveler. Yet, no matter which life, body, or landscape one lands in, all exist on a shared bedrock of violence and suffering, albeit one presided over by a glittering imagination." – Lynn Emanuel, from the Foreword. We're also pleased that Brandon Shimoda, marketing director of the Seattle poetry press Wave Books, will be a part of this, reading from his own work. He is the author of The Inland Sea (Tarpaulin Sky Press), and contributed to two other recent book projects, Lake M (Corollary Press) and The Alps (Film Forum Press).
